You might as well get used to trolls/fud, as there isn't a whole lot anyone can do about them. Initially when I started here I wondered where was forum moderation, as some trolling goes way overboard... evidently this is a troll feeding ground, close to no moderation whatsoever.

Sometimes trolling/fud is a form of coin tribalism, where people think that by knocking another coin, whatever they invested in will do better. Sometimes it's just part of the game... coin pumps, trolls come out to knock down price... be it because they don't want the coin to do well now that they sold, or they just want to buy back in at a lower rate. It's strangely predictable. I am less surprised now that there is so much trolling/fud, and more surprised at how well it works, seemingly repeatedly.

The whole practice is really detrimental to cryptocurrency. These aren't competing companies, they're open source projects.


These are both very true, and as a member of this community I ask others to please do everything in their ability to stop this. It really is detrimental to our cause as a crypto community as a whole.
